Reply to Avian influenza viruses of the H5 subtype and H7 subtype have caused 2634 human cases around the world, including more than 1000 deaths. These viruses have caused numerous disease outbreaks in wild birds and domestic poultry, and are responsible for the loss of at least 422 million domestic birds. by Unethical_Orange
It's almost as if packing thousands of animals together in cages barely bigger than their bodies allows diseases to spread more easily.

Good research. But don't just doomscroll, do something about it.
- Vote, volunteer, and fund raise for viable environmental candidates.
- Our personal choices DO matter when we act together - have less kids (if you live in a wealthy country), go vegan, make your next car an EV, divest from polluting corporations.
- Get your family, friends, and community to join you in the above.

Reply to Planting more trees could axe summer deaths by a third. Modelling of 93 European cities finds that increasing tree cover up to 30% can help lower the temperature of urban environments by an average of 0.4°C and prevent one in three heat deaths as a result. by MistWeaver80
Tell your federal representatives to reintroduce the TREES Act. This bill directs the Department of Energy (DOE) to establish a grant program for states, local governments, Indian tribes, and other entities to facilitate tree planting projects that reduce residential energy consumption. Under the program, DOE must award grants to facilitate the planting of at least 300,000 trees annually in residential neighborhoods.
